HELLO BAYOU CITY ROAD RUNNERS!!!
Sorry for the delay, my mind seemed to have checked out for Spring Break.
PLEASE NOTE that our Wednesday run at Rice University has changed effective immediately: Due to an increase in after school care, the First Christian Church cannot accommodate BCRR parking in the church lot until 6:30 when their childcare day ends. Every Wednesday evening we will now begin our weekly runs at 6:30.
If you choose to run before 6:30 please make alternate parking arrangements. Parking on Cherokee is free after 6:00 p.m. if you'd like to pre loop Rice. Please help us maintain our positive relationship with the church by respecting their needs. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and flexibility with this.
To park in the church parking lot, you need a BCRR bumper sticker. Please see Lisa Thompson for a sticker if you do not already have one.
All levels are welcome. And the best part is the cheap beer at Valhalla afterwards. Parking is available at First Christian Church/School (1628 Rice Boulevard).
BCRR Birthdays: Happy birthday to Benjamin Emley & Paula Cassidy (March 16th), Susan Davis* & Kate Philbrick* (March 17th), Eric Cassidy (March 19th), Donald Daum, Brook McClain, & Gloria Osuna (March 21st), and Susan M. Elias (March 22nd).

Save the date for a Happy Hour Baby Shower!
